Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 2348 302. Eight Precious Jade Food (Master Xiao Chen appears in Juxian Tower)

"It's you?"

Nalan Ruoye stood outside the door and was stunned, looking slightly surprised and asked -

Mr. Xiao Chen was writing and reviewing the papers. He raised his head and glanced at Nalan Ruoye. His face was still cold and stern, and he spoke slowly.

"It seems that Miss He is not willing to see me?"

Nalan Ruoye turned to greet him with a smile and explained: "How could it be? Seeing Mr. Chen He Rong'er makes me feel a lot more at ease."

Listening to the conversation between the two, no matter how stupid you are, you can understand the relationship between the two.

Bai Hua couldn't help but stepped forward and asked Nalan Ruoye in a low voice: "What... is going on?"

Nalan Ruoye pretended to smile casually and explained: "Oh~ That's it! Last time in our preliminary competition, wasn't I asked to go to the organizer to hand over the votes on behalf of the Lily Family? It happened to be Mr. Chen who was hearing the matter. In total, he and I are old acquaintances, and I never thought that I would meet Mr. Chen again in this competition."

"Oh! So that's it! Let me tell you~ Considering that Miss He has never been to Di Jiuli, how can she know the officials of the Quan clan here?"

Bai Hua subconsciously answered the question, trying to smooth things over.

Nalan Ruoye took advantage of the situation and praised Mr. Xiao Chen again, in order to get closer to him and gain some advantages in this competition.

"Master Xiao Chen has a special way of handling cases. He figured out the whole story in three strokes, five divisions and two divisions, and gave our Lily Family a clean slate. Otherwise, we would not have stood out among the many teams and successfully advanced to the second round of the competition. "

When Bai Hua heard this, without saying a word, he straightened his back and gave a respectful fist-cup salute to Mr. Xiao Chen.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your noble hand. Mr. Chen is wise and helped our Lily family clear their names. Bai Hua is very grateful."

After hearing this, Mr. Xiao Chen slowly put down the pen in his hand, folded his hands on his chest, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the acting skills of the lovely woman in front of him. This was also a kind of fun, and he was intoxicated in it.

"I am just doing things impartially. If you want to thank you, please thank your Miss He. Miss He dares to speak out and provides evidence. After I have the evidence, I can explain to the superiors that the Lily Family wins by strength. , What does it have to do with me?"

When Bai Hua heard this, he thought it was Master Xiao Chen who was being modest, and he quickly said politely——

"No, no, no! If Master Chen hadn't raised his hand, our Lily family..."

"Okay, you came to me not to thank me, right? What's the matter?"

Apparently Mr. Xiao Chen was not interested in Bai Hua's too many words of thanks, so he simply interrupted him and asked him the purpose of his visit.

Bai Hua was stunned for a moment. His hands hadn't even clasped his fists yet, so he was still embarrassed.

Bai Hua vaguely felt Lord Xiao Chen's emotions——

I don't know why, but I always feel that Master Xiao Chen is a little hostile to me. Is it my imagination?

When Nalan Ruoye was about to speak, Mr. Xiao Chen interrupted——

"How long are you going to stand at the door? What kind of monster is this officer? Is it that you are all so frightened that you don't dare to step out of the way?"

As soon as these words came out, Nalan Ruoye reacted immediately, took a step forward, and said with a smile——

"How could it be? Aren't you so excited to see Mr. Chen? You have forgotten everything in this excitement?"

Nalan Ruoye crossed the threshold first, followed closely by Bai Hua, and finally Shopkeeper Zheng. Shopkeeper Zheng lowered the curtain when he came in. Mr. Xiao Chen spread out his hands and invited Nalan Ruoye to sit down. Then he stood up, turned around, took three cups from the tea table at the back, and placed them on the desk. When he was about to pour tea, shopkeeper Zheng had quick eyesight and hurriedly He snatched the teapot and said with a smile:

"Hey~ How can we ask Mr. Chen to pour tea and water for us? This kind of service needs to be done by the young ones."

Seeing that shopkeeper Zheng was very attentive, Master Xiao Chen refused anything, so he simply handed over the teapot in his hand, and sat firmly opposite Nalan Ruoye.

"Tell me the reason for coming to me."

Nalan Ruoye did not beat around the bush and went straight to the topic——

"Master Chen must have already known the rules of this competition. I heard what Shopkeeper Zheng means is that we can't use ingredients other than those from Juxianlou, right?"

Mr. Xiao Chen put his right hand against his eyes on the bridge of his nose and said, "Yes, there is such a rule."

Nalan Ruoye looked back at Bai Hua. After the two looked at each other, Nalan Ruoye turned around——

"Aren't auxiliary ingredients also allowed?"

Mr. Xiao Chen crossed his arms and shook his head solemnly.

Nalan Ruoye looked slightly disappointed. After taking a long breath, he tried again -

"Then...where are the condiments?"

"What? Seasoning?"

Nalan Ruoye nodded.

Mr. Xiao Chen laughed loudly and said: "What kind of magical formula is that of yours? You still need to bring it yourself?"

Nalan Ruoye explained with a smile: "Each family's chef must have its own secret recipe to excel, and the same is true for our Lily family - Mr. Xiao Chen also knows that our Lily family's main specialty is medicinal diet. During the cooking process In order to achieve the therapeutic effect, it is necessary to add some auxiliary medicinal materials to the dishes, right? As you know, this Juxian Restaurant is a restaurant. I believe in the strength of their restaurant, but they are not a pharmacy. Some formulas They really can’t provide medicinal materials.”

As he said that, Nalan Ruoye cast his eyes on Shopkeeper Zheng again and asked: "Shopkeeper Zheng, do you have some precious medicinal herbs in your store?"

As soon as he heard about the precious medicinal materials, shopkeeper Zheng shook his head in panic: "We run a restaurant, not medical practitioners. How can we have medicinal materials?"

At this point, Nalan Ruoye spread his palms and signaled from outside.

After Master Xiao Chen quietly listened to Nalan Ruoye's statement, he couldn't help but sigh. He thought for a while and said -

"In principle, you are not allowed to bring in your own ingredients, but as for these ingredients and condiments, there are no explicit provisions in the competition regulations. Since your Lily family mainly relies on medicinal diet, it really doesn't make sense if you don't add some medicinal ingredients~ In this way, we closely follow the rules of the competition. If you use this medicinal material as an ingredient, it is a violation of the rules of the competition. I will definitely impose a penalty. However, if you use it as a condiment, it does not reflect the medicinal properties. Regarding the nature of the ingredients, I just turned a blind eye and passed by. After all, we are also old acquaintances, and it can be regarded as a kind of fate between me and the Lily family. This is also within my maximum authority. Do you think this is okay? "

Hearing this, Nalan Ruoye's eyes trembled slightly. She turned back and glanced at Bai Hua. The two nodded tacitly, and Nalan Ruoye stood up and wanted to say goodbye.

"Okay! That's enough~ Thank you Mr. Chen for your support in our Lily Family's work. He Rong'er is so grateful. Please wait for the good news for us~"

Mr. Xiao Chen's eyes were always following Nalan Ruoye's figure. When the other party was about to leave, he asked: "Aren't you going to have some tea? Are you leaving in a hurry?"

"No more drinks, time waits for no one~ I see it's lunch time soon, we have to go back and deal with the ingredients as soon as possible! Thank you Mr. Chen for your kindness~"

With that said, Nalan Ruoye and Bai Hua rushed towards the back kitchen...
